Pours a hazy golden with a sudsy bone-white inch-high head. Head recedes slowly to a lingering cap of foam. Plentiful, sticky lacing.

In the nose, a heady blend of tropical fruits, grapefruit flesh, orange zest, and dank pine. Lots of pineapple comes through. Very appealing.

Taste more or less follows the nose...opens with grapefruit and tangerine, before exploding into a medley of mango, papaya, passionfruit, and pineapple, with the latter again being very dominant. Finishes juicy, with a slight dry, grassy bitterness lingering into the finish. Subtle pale malts provide backbone but allow the hop flavors to shine.

On the tongue, medium-bodied but with a crisp, zippy carbonation that keeps the beer feeling appropriately juicy yet still clean and refreshing. No hint of alcohol whatsoever.

On the whole, a damn fine IPA that I'm delighted to be seeing with greater frequency as of late. It can't quite hang with the titans of Vermont in my opinion, but it comes ever so close. (1,033 characters)

I tried this beer on draft at a bar in the summer BEFORE knowing any of the hype... and my eyes went wide after the first sip.

Every sip after that, I kept exclaiming to people at the table how good this beer was. For me, it was the kind of beer I've always been looking for. I'm really into IPAs, but I too often feel like they go overboard with the hops, rendering the beer skunky and hard to drink. This beer on the other hand had the perfect level of flavor, but was also extremely drinkable and refreshing. Medium bodied, crisp, and the aftertaste was just pure joy. Had a very very slight hint of grapefruit which made it great for warm weather.

Probably my all time favorite beer, and again, I decided that after the first sip BEFORE even having a clue about the hype. (777 characters)

Hands down my favorite beer right now. Amazing. It sports a solid 2-finger off-white head that holds firm and relaxes to form craters and great lacing on the glass. The color is a hazy light amber. The aroma is of strong, fresh hops with a sweet floral high note. the taste is of citrus balanced with light biscuit. A perfect bitter hop finish follows through to the swallow. (376 characters)

T: Taste starts with a nice peppery, floral note before a nice balanced bready, malt fills through the middle with hints of grapefruit. Finish has an underlaying grapefruit flavoring that compliments a strong pine presence.

O: Goes down easily, tasty, not too filling, mild kick, nice representation of style. I haven't had an IPA with much floral notes lately, so this was a nice change of pace and very nicely done. (790 characters)

This is a sleeper IPA, waiting patiently for more people to try it. Despite the gripes of West Coast naysayers, it appears East Coast brewers can indeed brew hoppy beers of epic proportions. It certainly sent our palates for a ride and fed our hop addiction. A must-try for hopheads. (616 characters)
